Ancora sul cavallo perdente. L'analisi della deposizione di Clarke da Belgravia Dispatch. Un po' di contraddizioni rilevate dal NYP. Al NYT Clarke invece è piaciuto. Ora: anche con tutta la buona volontà è un po' difficile credere che quello che aveva preso sul serio Al Qaeda fosse Bill Clinton.
La questione è politica ovviamente anche se sembra prevalere il fair-play. La cosa più saggia la scrive Peggy Noonan: The hearings should not have been held, for one reason: Our country at this moment in history should not be focusing time and attention on who made mistakes and why and when. Not that these things don't matter; they do, desperately, and history will be full of the story. But we have a war to fight, a country to protect, and that is what should have precedence. As government officials last week rehearsed their testimony the enemy was planning new horrors for Americans to endure. Right now we should be preparing--taking protective action in our ports and around our nuclear facilities, at our borders, etc. American officials should not be busy testifying; they should be busy making sure every citizen has a CBN suit, a regulation gas mask and data on how to recognize and respond to a chemical, biological or nuclear incident. The most pressing thing at the moment is making America safer. Instead, our officials are otherwise engaged. As they were before 9/11. |
